The Supercast returns with another creator interview! This time we're talking with Naomi Jardine, creator behind the recently completed Flatland (http://flatland.sugaryserials.com/2008/07/11/2008-07-11_flatland-01/). We talk about the comic's beginnings on her own website (http://flatland.ca) as well as the struggles Naomi faced when creating a long-form story about her characters for the Sugary Serials anthology. The second half of the interview is more of an audio commentary track, where Naomi and I discuss the first act of Flatland page by page. Enjoy!

As we get ready for our upcoming appearance at Wizard World Chicago (www.wizardworld.com), I'm joined by Shawn Robare (www.brandedinthe80s.com) and his wife Carrie for a conversation about our hopes and fears as convention exhibitors and attendees.

This time we have an interview with the creator behind The Awesome Brothers (http://awesome.sugaryserials.com/2008/06/03/2008-06-03_awesome-01/), Erik Lervold. Aside from his Sugary Serials contribution, we talk about the upcoming Kakkoi Con (http://www.kakkoicon.com/index.php?section=home), and his work on comics such as Tiger Moth and Super Momo (http://momo.panel2panel.com/). A friendly warning to parents: While we don't break our clean tag, some of the content of this episode might not be considered suitable for younger listeners. Shouldn't be an issue for most listeners, but I like to cover all of the bases when I can. RSS Feed: http://recordings.talkshoe.com/rss38795.xml

Diana Nock is the creator of the recently completed Sugary Serials comic IMAGINARY FRIENDS FOREVER (www.imaginaryfriends.sugaryserials.com). In this episode of the Supercast she graciously lends her time to dig under the hood of her artistic process with me. We talk about her upbringing and what led her to comics, her education at MCAD (www.mcad.edu), her thoughts on word balloon useage, walking a line between a cartoony and a naturalistic style, as well as some of her favorite comics and influences. We also talk a bit about her other comics found on her Jinxville (www.jinxville.com) web site (Parental warning: some PG-13 content), including a 24-Hour Comic she completed last year.
